A donation of art materials, drawing pencils and water colour crayons, donated by the Rotary Club of Keswick, have been received by the Peter Clarke Art Centre in Newlands, Cape Town, South Africa. These materials were sent out in a shipment in September.

Tennis equipment, donated by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, has once again been put to good use by the Irene Country Club, who run a Tennis Development programme for the Irene Middle School, a local school, situated in the Gauteng province of South Africa which is located between Pretoria and Johannesburg.

Bob Crisp and David Tarn, School Aid volunteers, worked extremely hard, on what was a very hot day in August, loading a shipping container bound for South Africa. This container is expected to arrive in mid September.

They loaded 19 pallets, containing 730 boxes of books, onto the container, which will eventually go to schools in and around Cape Town. Two of the pallets of books are to be forwarded to schools in Johannesburg.

School Aid welcomed the South African High Commissioner, Nomatemba "Thembi" Tambo, to the warehouse. She is seen here with Lady Baker (President and Founder) on the left and Janis Mowlem (Chairman) on the right.
